hey all.
was thinking of asking this for long but cudnt coz of 2 reasons.
1.i m busy vaccationing
2. its what d prob is,my connection has gone nuts.

so the prob is that my connection is behaving extremely annoyingly.
it just doesnt starts.when i start my router sometimes d 4 led's blink dimly.
i hv 2 restart it by d power bouton on modem,disconnecting d adaptor n plugging it agn etc etc.
n when it does start it goes of within a minute,even though the lights are giving no indication of nethng rong,i mean all lights r der.
i den hv to agn restart it wth my own ways hoping that d for lights will come n i will b able to connect.bt i don thnk der is ne prob wth my connection itself coz wen im unable to load ne pages(wth all 4 lights) n i restart d router n reconnect it works fine,though only for next 1 minute.

sometimes by pure luck it so happens that i get no prob whatso ever. i can disconnect n reconnect on d go.

its extrememly disgusting.
its getting on my nerves.
on my ubuntu fiesty,
when i enter Code: sudo net-setup eth0
it shows me two ethernet devices:
eth0
eth0:avah(or something lik dat)

can dis b a part of d prob?coz earlier i used to see only 1 eth0 device i.e. eth0.
i thought of restoring router to factory default bt im unable to access my router,page cant b displayed error on ie n ff.
n also,i switched to pppoe mode leaving bridge mode wen i installed fiesty n sab.

ne help welcome.

hmmm... not da exact prob u're facin... but whenever i switch off da modem and switch it on (to cheat rapidshare ;) ;) ) it takes some 10 to 15 mins to get bak the connection..!! :(
To make things worse sometimes the link led glows green instead of the orange - then i have to wait for 2 hours or more to get da connection!!! :(
And ocassionally the link goes off (somethin similar to ur problem!!) :(

ok now ping ur DNS server address ..like this
ping 202.56.230.6 -t

I have taken 202.56.230.6 as ur server address.You replace this number with ur own BSL DNS server address.

becoz u this time u gave command like this
ping 218.248.240.79 -t

There sud be 4 lights on ur modem..as follow:
1) Power-->> Shows ur modem is getting electric power
2) Link-->> shows the connection betwwen ur modem and BSNL exchange
3) DATA-->> will blink when you do any data transfer through modem (like while surfing internet).
4) PC/USB-->> shows the connectivity between ur modem and computer.

Now tell me..which light doest not work sometimes??

hmm...
sometimes wen i start d pc,all four lights r der.i mean ideally wen u start router,ur 1,2 n 3 lights r on n den link light goes off,it comes back n den comes data light.it doesnt happen many times.

n recently whats happening is even after d router lights work ideally,aftr i connect im unable to load ne pages after say 1 min.i hv to agn restart d router n also take care that it starts deally n nt dat all 4 lights cum all @ same time.
n sometimes d lights glow very dimly,as if der is low volatage or sumthng.n i bet low voltage is nt a prob here wer i live so dats out of ques.

When ever you face such problem.Ping 192.168.1.1
If you get proper reply from 192.168.1.1..than Ur modem is fine.If you are not getting proper responce..than there is some problem in ur modem.

And than ping 218.248.240.79 -t
If you are getting loss..than there is problem from BSNL side.You cant do anything.Call customer care.
